Inspired by coastal tidal patterns and warm days, this NEW collection of textural artworks has evolved from my curiosity for playing and exploring with paper and patterns in nature. The works are often layers of pencil, paint, charcoal, pastel, paper, printmaking, and man-made objects that have been morphed into forms that resemble patterns in nature. Earlier this year, my art studio was affected badly by flood waters whilst we were away. At the time, our friends Megan and Dave who own Villa Samudera in Bali, were on a holiday and housesitting our home, but it turned in to a flood management event. They took it upon themselves to save many of my art papers and if it wasn’t for their quick thinking many of my treasures wouldn’t have survived and this series wouldn’t exist today. I dedicate this series to them.
